Bodrum in Turkey is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and birthplace to Herodotus. House ’Ö’ is located in one of Istanbul`s popular holiday districts, Yalikavak.

The design aims to offer a modern life style approach whilist remaining in keeping with the geography and the scenery of the area. Great importance has been placed on minimising any changes in the topography of the land and this is borne out through the siting of the swimming pool between the house and the garden.

The building consist of three stone units connected by two clear units. Vision is ennchanced through the use of clear glass connectors between units. The interconnectivity and use of light permits the feeling of a single, spacious living area.

No separating walls are used within the living space. Instead, using intelligent interior design and appropriate furniture, distinct living areas are created within on open "whole".
